I am a wheelchair user living in Chase Meadow and am writing about my concerns about the proposed gypsy and traveller sites near the town, particularly the Budbrooke Lodge, Racecourse and Hampton road site.

I have discovered that house and possibly car insurance rates will go up due to the increased risk of crime. As a vulnerable adult, I do feel concerns about the proposals being so near our new estate which is heavily populated with young families. I appreciate that gypsies and travellers are vulnerable and have needs but very much hope that it will be possible to house them further away from the town.

Would we see a reduction in council taxes given the risks, should the proposed site be developed for the travellers?
